UFO resolutions

I made a resolution at the start of the year to clear up all the UFO's (UnFinished Objects for you non-knitters!) that are cluttering up my home. I have also added a few that are unstarted but I want to do this year! I am sure my family and other animals will add a few more as the year goes on (like my son who needs a new winter hat).  Here's my progress so far.

1. Tudora 2 now finished 
   
2. Just Enough Ruffles scarf now finished 
   
3. Flora Crochet Mobius cowl now finished 
   
4. Baby Surprise Jacket now finished
   
5. Felted Snuglets finished
   
6. NDS socks (“pot-pourri socks”) finished
   
7. Topsecret sweater about 35-40% done
8. Fishing Mittens (my husband wants me to make a pair - I have finished one.)
9. Buzzbee
   
10. “Leftovers” Tank 
    
11. Shilasdair sweater (to frog and start over as CPH or Rogue?)
12. Wool Peddler’s Shawl (USO)
13. Lake of the Woods wrap (in Manos Silk Blend) (USO) 
    
14. Wicked (in Debbie Bliss Maya) (USO)
15. Gytha in Angora 50%

A little bit of pretty.

Now that the stash is sorted, it's time to get this place looking pretty. So I spent the evening carefully arranging almost 100 vinyl stickers up the stairwell to my studio. I really like the results! 

New Studio, New Blog

Well it is finally finished - my new, shiny studio! And of course, the first item on the to-do list was to sort out The Stash and get it on display.

I spent last weekend at a beginners basket-making workshop and the resulting baskets are perfect for showing off piles of lovely yarn! So I have a HUGE log-basket (not shown) with yarns for large projects (eg 10 matching balls of polar for a sweater), a medium size basket for odd balls and partial skeins, and a vegetable rack to show off all my sock yarn and yummy single skeins of lace-weight.

(Note to self - stash is getting huge. Must spend less time on Ravelry and knit something with this stuff!)
